The rising action is the part of the drama that begins where the introduction ends and leads to the climax or turning point. The rising action in 'Oedipus Rex' begins with Creon's first appearance in the play. It leads to Theban Queen Jocasta's recounting of how she understood her husband, Theban King Laius, died. And ultimately that recounting leads to the revelation of the murderous, incestuous base upon which Theban royal family life is based.
